<strong>Metro</strong> officials should talk to their state legislators and Tennessee Department of<br />

Environment and Conservation staff about the feasibility of amending the State’s dam safety<br />

laws.<br />

Source:<br />

Community Rating System Action <strong>Plan</strong><br />

<strong>Mitigation</strong> Category: Emergency Services<br />

Responsible Office: MWS and OEM<br />

Priority (H, M, L): Low<br />

Cost Estimate: Staff Time; because changing a state law involves political<br />

contacts and discussions, a cost for technical staff time or<br />

consultant expenses cannot be estimated. It would take one to two<br />

days to prepare a background paper on the issues.<br />

Community Benefit: Public Safety<br />

Potential funding: Existing Budget<br />

Schedule:<br />

Within 5 years<br />

2009 Update: Tennessee’s safe dam program does not include farm ponds.<br />

RECOMMENDED ACTION 22:<br />

Cooperating Technical Partners (CTPs) are communities, regional agencies, or states that<br />

have the interest and capability to be active partners in FEMA’s flood mapping program.<br />

CTPs enter into an agreement that formalizes their contribution and commitment to flood<br />

mapping. The objective of the program is to maximize limited funding by combining<br />

resources and help maintain consistent national standards.<br />

<strong>Metro</strong>’s Stormwater Division should pursue a Cooperating Technical Partner agreement with<br />

FEMA in order to get its mapping standards to better fit local conditions or make the<br />

community a higher priority for mapping support.<br />
